Traits were Brute->Hellrunner->Brute->Berserker->Eagle Eye*->Hellrunner*->Berserker*

*or something like that

I kept a shotgun and shells around as a lure, but ended up not using them much after a couple of dlvls.
The Chained Court was a pleasure, of course.
I faced The Wall to avoid massive acid damage between me and the other stairs.
I found a Supercharge near UC (which I entered quickly to avoid YASD), and discovered that medkits don't berserk you when you're above full health (is this a bug...?), but managed AoD with my other one.
LS made surviving the following Arachnotrons with lowish HP a weee bit easier :P
Found stuff, killed shit, reached Cybie and kicked his ass. And like many here've said, after AoD he's a joke.


Questions: is LS's protection always in effect?
Does it stack with body armor?
Is there a total armor limit?

You are one of the few who take Berserker on AoB ;)

It's a bug and fixed in the beta. (I think)

Not sure about this but as far as I can tell:
- Only when equipped
- Yes (also with Tan)
- No, but a hit will always do at least 1 damage. This can be seen as a indirect armor limit.

Imho Berserk is a very usefull perk for every melee game, even for AoB, where you can use medpacks as Berserk. It is more usefull than any other trait you can pick here. When you are Berserk and have at least knife))), then you are nearly invincible, if you won't do some stupid mistake. And more, if you have chainsaw, or LS, then monsters have no chances. When you get chainsaw, it appears as useless, but i realized when contesting in Malicious Knives challenge that it is the only easy enough way to win AoB without chainsaw, or LS.

Imho Berserk is a very usefull perk for every melee game, even for AoB, where you can use medpacks as Berserk. It is more usefull than any other trait you can pick here.

IMO Berserker is useless in AoB games. You get Berserk effect from large meds (on demand) and from large health globes too. Brute(2) + chainsaw already let's you one-hit demons, imps, humans etc. so the 4% berserk chance is not likely to trigger anyway. Better take some defensive skills to make life easier around AVs. And once you get the LS it's gg anyway.
Even on non-AoB games I'd only take Berserker(1). I killed the AoD with that and when I faced Cybie with Berserker (2) I killed him without triggering Berserk.....

[Blade]

For me it seems that having LS you can win without any perks at all. So it is no difference then between picking defensive perks, or Berserk. But try to win AoB without LS on UV. You will be able to do it, i'm sure, but picking Berserk will simplify this task greately(maybe it is only my opinion). Otherwise you will be in little trouble, realizing yourself in caves surrounded by 8 Arachnotrons, and without Berserk.

As I had said, I used my last medkit on AoD (who dealt me some damage before I took him out), and then "found Hellish Caves", with enough Arachnotrons to make even maxdmg=1 a danger. Barserk triggered, and very likely saved me there. It also triggered in at least one battle including an AV, so I didn't have to waste what could have been my last medkit for Cybie. I had Hellrunner(2) for the defensive anyway, and would have filled it if not for the lowish killcount.
Also, don't Berserk triggeres stack for more time (and I think I've heard effect, too)? If so, with Berserk(2-3) on H-UV, you could probably keep a spree going almost the entire game.

It works so well, I was surprised not to find it in the Wiki.

That's what i'm talking about. Berserk stacks, but not more than limit of 200 turns. It is VERY hard to kill AV with knife without Berserk. When i saw AV in Malicious Knives challenge, i just run away as fast as i can... to trigger Berserk on somebody weak and then run back.

Why are you using shotgun? Why not pistol? BoHs will fire pistol, not their ACID balls, if they find one.

EDIT: LOL)) I need to correct some misunderstanding in my post))

I would love to see a Baron fire his balls :p

[TFoN]

HAHA! :P Heh... Hooo...

Ok.

I use the shotgun to isolate shells, and then drop one at a time (otherwise I just use whatever's near).

I haven't tried the pistol system, but it seems to me they fire their, ahem, balls, alot more often anyway, and then, when I do use lures I tend to get them 0-range, so they can hold a BFG for all I care.

Do they really fire the pistols more often...?

Oh, and I once got a direct-hit rocket, then I was pretty content with the acid :P
